Security Surveys

Facility Risk Assessment – This thorough assessment identifies weaknesses in your security system, along with behaviors and conditions that put your business and assets at risk.

Personnel Security Assessments – This assessment provides security awareness for your business. It identifies employee vulnerabilities both inside and outside your building and brings attention to practices that may be hazardous to the welfare of your employees.

Contingency Planning – Once we have conducted the above assessments we put together a solid contingency plan that will protect your business from future threats.

Fraud Analysis

In today’s economy a business cannot afford to lose money, product or intellectual property due to fraud. Fraud schemes decrease businesses’ profit margins. Many times businesses do not realize fraud is occurring until there is a significant loss.

Loss due to fraud can be prevented with proper analysis and identification. Our fraud assessments and analyses identify fraud schemes currently taking place and allow you to stop the fraud and take appropriate steps to recoup your losses and see that justice is served.

The median loss caused by the occupational frauds in this study was $175,000. More than one-quarter of the frauds involved losses of at least $1 million.Occupational fraud schemes frequently continue for years before they are detected. The typical fraud in our study lasted two years from the time it began until the time it was caught by the victim organization.
